Movie Trailer: The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

You know a trailer is good when it doesn't even need words.

I first saw the preview for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty when I went to see Gravity last week, and it was a hook, line and sinker experience. I love that the trailer tells you just enough but still keeps you guessing a delicious amount of mystery.

Sometimes I just know that movies will speak to me. Like Moonrise Kingdom last year. (Admittedly sometimes the good ones sneak up on me, like this surprise favorite of the year thus far.) There are so many exciting movies coming up in November (ENDER'S GAME BOOK THIEF CATCHING FIRE ETC ETC ETC) but now I've also got my eye on the end of December for some Walter Mitty. I do love me some Ben Stiller! (I know my freckled meggles is excited too. We discussed it.)

Check it out:

...does it look like your kind of film?

I love the exhilarated look on his face when he jumps into the helicopter...like his own bravery is surprising him. Man, I totally get that.
